Process until all ingredients are finely chopped in the food processor, pulsing and scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add mayonnaise and honey. Process until creamy and well-combined.
With the food processor running, slowly stream in oil until it's all gone and the dressing is emulsified.
Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy as a dip, sandwich spread, or salad dressing.***

Notes

*If you want to use frozen spinach, you will only need about half as much, since frozen spinach is compressed and a little goes a long way!

**To make this recipe vegan, use a vegan mayonnaise and your favorite alternative to honey, such as agave.

***If the dressing thickens in the refrigerator, you can whisk in a little cold water, additional lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar to loosen it up to your liking for an easily-pourable salad dressing consistency.
